I'm not sure if I'd go down there for double that!

Agreed. Asking someone to work in adverse/extreme/remote conditions is one thing, but it's probably a good idea to offer at least what the average supervisor or manager would make in a comfortable urban setting.
Especially for a firm that pulls down somewhere in the neighborhood of 9 billion per year.

San Diego for $110,000 or Antarctica for $110,000. Hmmm, I'll have to think about that.
?ÿ
I wouldn't work in either location for that pay. At least not without some serious fringe benefits.
But truth be told, if the pay was solid and I had to pick one or the other, I'd go with the Antarctica job, if I could live wherever I wanted when I wasn't working at the bottom of the earth.

@jimcox Median price for a home in San Diego county is something like 850k.

@williwaw
The median for New Zealand is $944,767 pacific pesos
Which is about 17.5 years at median wage
And Auckland affordability is even worse 🙁
